ALT is also raised.
CT abdomen scan showed a gall stone in the bile duct.
She’s going to be admitted for an ercp procedure.

Thank you for your detailed response. I don’t have access to the course, but I have downloaded the PDF file.
See attached course message.
Yes, I think understand in that despite lemon contain contains citric acid, the underlying minerals are alkaline once digested.
I tried a glass of water with 1 tsp of lemon juice extracted from the lemon. Unfortunately, it did cause a little heartburn. I’ll tray again later.

A quick update on Mum.
She was discharged on September 10th without needing an ERCP. Instead, the consultant carried out an MRCP scan just to be sure, which showed no stone. He mentioned that the 2mm stone, previously lodged in the ampulla of Vater, may have flushed out naturally.
Her ALP, ALT, and GGT markers have since come down, and she’s had no symptoms. The consultant has asked the GP to repeat blood tests on October 2nd to check where the markers are now. If symptoms such as high fever, yellowing of the skin or pain in the right hand side of her abdomen reappear, we should inform the gastroenterologist department immediately and ERCP will be need to go ahead.

Hi B. ,
Mum was moved from Accident & Emergency into the Acute Assessment Unit at midnight last night. Unfortunately, they don’t carry out procedure over the weekend, so the gastroenterology team will review her tomorrow and then put her on the waiting list. This is what I was told this morning, over the phone. I’ll be heading in shortly to get a clearer picture.
I’d also been looking into your liver and detox module, as mum had mentioned having pain on the right hand side last Friday. The module was extremely useful and timely. I had my hunch it could be gallstones even before the CT scan, based on what you explained about blockages. I also picked up on the raised ALP from your course and raised it with the GP and nephrologist where it was going up and down gradually over the past three months, though at the time they didn’t seem too concerned.
I really hope the procedure goes smoothly and without complications.
Thanks so much for your kind wishes.

Hi B.
Thank you for the clarification. Aha, I recall Geoffrey was going to make a course available to you at some point. Sure, I’ll watch it after the SIBO programme.

Thank you so much once again for your detailed response. I had my doubts about the blood test results. To be honest, I simply went with what the consultant said that I had high spike protein and he also wrote it in the clinic letter to my GP. As I result, he prescribed me Ivermectin and Low Dosage Naltrexone. I did purchase them, though reluctantly, but haven’t taken them because of my doubts about whether I had long COVID or high spike protein. It’s s a relief to hear from you that I don’t have either.
I don’t have any respiratory issues, but do have fatigue and brain fog which are most likely from my digestive issues.
I’ll also look into Jill’s research and her recommendations, as well as Dr. McCulloch’s protocol. But thankfully, I don’t think I’ll be needing those protocols. You’ve clarified that the results are really more about antibodies, which makes sense now. Sorry, my naivety kicked in there.

Hi Daniel,
Once again, thank you very much for your detailed and thoughtful response. I really appreciate it.
I’ll take a look with the alcohol free digestive bitters first, as my stomach lining is feeling a bit irritated and I want to avoid anything too harsh. I’ll make sure to double check the ingredients, especially for orange or citrus extracts, which can be a trigger for me. If needed, I might consider the alcohol versions in small amounts, possibly diluted in warm water.
As for the mucosal lining support, you were absolutely right about GI Revive, it’s an excellent product. Unfortunately, I can’t take it due to the pork derived mucin, which I can’t take. I do take slippery elm, marshmallow root powders, L-glutamine, zinc L-carnosine, and DGL regularly. I’ve also used Megamucosa in the past and found it helpful, so I’m planning to go back to that now that my gut lining feels more reactive again.
Thanks again for all the options and your helpful insights.

Is this the product?
I was wondering if you could help me find a similar probiotic from the Amrita Nutrition or The Natural Dispensary website as I tend to purchase my supplements from them.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Daniel,
Sorry for the very late response.
Your last reply does make a lot of sense. Movement, whether through stretching or strengthening, definitely helps. To be honest, I really struggle. The only reason weights even came into the picture is because of the physio training I’m receiving.
Earlier this year, a cardiologist recommended that I see a physiotherapist to help recondition my body. Also, my blood pressure is elevate slhghtly (134 systolic) following 24 hour monitoring. From head to toe, I’ve been extremely weak. Every time I go to physiotherapy, I feel like I have a bundle of energy, but as soon as I get home, that energy just plummets. It’s as if having someone to be accountable to, or just knowing I’ll be seeing someone, gives me this temporary boost when I’m at the hospital. But the moment I return to the same environment at home, it’s like everything crashes, no energy, no motivation.
Yes, I shouldn’t be “killing” the microbes, but rather rebalancing my gut. I really want to do that through food, but eating is painful. Even blended food can be difficult. And with all the dietary restrictions I’m following, low histamine, low FODMAP, low acid, low mould, it feels like there’s nothing left to eat.
I definitely need more movement than I’m currently getting. Last week at the hospital, I used the steps and the wobbler cushion, that was nice, I actually enjoyed it. I also did an exercise (I think it’s called Farmer’s Walk?) where you carry weights in both hands and walk the length of the room. That felt good.
It’s just the abdominal pain and weak quads that keep getting in the way. The quad weakness is is due to misaligned knees, which complicates things.
You’re also right about the parasite, it’s likely linked to intestinal permeability, and that just seems to keep getting worse.
Are you familiar with the HTMA test? I recently had it done and it came back with a lot of abnormalities, one of which was high levels of lithium. Do you know if any supplements can cause elevated lithium levels in the body?

Thanks Daniel. I’ll go with old school set as I think the expensive set maybe too fiddly.

Hi Daniel,
Would you mind taking a look at my response when you get a chance? Thank you.
